Sometimes I feel that the people that make the decisions are too far removed from the working stiff umpires. When I do a tournament I will do around 8-10 games on a Saturday. By the time 3 p.m. rolls around, the area around home plate is usually reduced to moon dust. The lighter the color of my uniform the better it absorbs the dust without making me look like I just got hit with a dust grenade. Most of the time we'll switch to Navy shirts when the sun goes down but by that time I'm numb and don't care. We're not all calling double headers on Hall of Fame field, keep the light colors and let me worry about others respecting my authortay! I do just fine as it is.
